Measuring
Instructions for Shangri-La Window Shadings
|
||||||||
 |
Precise width and length measurements are critical. Fabric width cannot be altered after the shading is fabricated. Please use a metal tape measure for accuracy from home to factory. The headrail must be installed perfectly level and installed evenly to ensure smooth operation. On an inside mount, it is recommended that you check to see that the mounting surface is level and consistent. If your soffit needs to be leveled, this should be done before measuring. LENGTH CONSIDERATIONS Comfortex will fabricate your window shading to the exact length ordered, when the vanes are in the open (or view-through) position. When the vanes are rotated to the closed position, the shading will become 3/8" longer. When closed on an inside mount, a slight puckering can occur on the lower most sheer section because of contact with the sill until the rail begins to lift off the window sill. If preferred, Shangri-La can be ordered 3/8" less than the window opening's measured length. In this case, the bottom rail will be positioned 3/8" above the sill when the vanes are in the open position. (Figure U) Rotating the vanes closed will cause the bottom rail to touch the window sill, closing any space. *Shadings over 96" wide may require additional fabrication time. **Shangri-La is a precision, hand crafted product. Once fabricated, it cannot be altered for either width or length. |

INSIDE MOUNT Measure across the width of your window opening in three different places-top, middle, and bottom. Measurements should be taken within the window jamb. Provide the smallest of the three measurements. Be exact, the factory will make the necessary deductions to fit the window opening. Measure the length of the window opening from the underside of the soffit to the surface of the window sill in two places - use the smallest of these two measurements. Inside mount blinds are installed inside the window casing. Check to be sure your window opening is deep enough to accommodate the mounting hardware and headrail which is 3 1/2" for a flush mount. Call or e-mail us for specific details
OUTSIDE MOUNT Measure the exact width and length of the area to be covered. On the width, allow at least 1" of overlap on each side. An overlap of 1"-2" on each side is recommended. Be sure to take into consideration any obstruction such as window trim, molding, locks and window cranks. Measure the exact width and length of the area to be covered. On the width, add at least 1" of overlap on each side of the opening or window casing. Add a minimum of 3 1/2" - 4" length to allow for the headrail or mounting brackets if you are mounting above the window casing. Call or e-mail us for specific details.
SIDE MOUNT Shangri-la may be side mounted using "L" brackets. For side mounts, follow the instructions for inside mounts. An additional *" will be taken off the standard inside mount deduction to allow room for the "L" brackets. The maximum shade width using the side mount option is 48".
